Speeches

President of Kurdistan Region, H.E. Nechirvan Barzani

You are all now equipped to contribute to the continuous development of this country, serve its people in all professions, and participate in shaping its future.

Chairman of AUK’s Board of Trustees, H.E. Masrour Barzani

We embrace, not discourage, those who are smarter than us or those who bring to the table ideas that we haven’t thought of.

President of AUK, Dr. Randall Rhodes

Taking risks requires strength, confidence and courage; it requires a voice, force. But once you find that voice, everything will flow, boundaries will shift, the world will be anew, and possibilities will be endless.
